[[http://​sqm2015.sig.eu | The 9th International Workshop on Software Quality and Maintainability]] will be co-located with SANER 2015 (merger of the CSMR and WCRE conferences) in Montreal, Canada in March 2015. The key concept and aim is to give the opportunity to researchers to present their original work and to practitioners to relate their experiences on issues pertaining to quality and maintainability of software systems and how to bridge the gap between end user expectations,​ business requirements,​ vendor performance,​ and engineering constraints. There are no restrictions regarding the background of the participants. Both researchers and practitioners are welcomed.

Both short position papers (max. 5 pages) or long papers (max. 10 pages) are solicited.
